Gitarattan International Business School

For me, GIBS Bangalore never felt like a college where you just attend classes and go back home. There was always something going on, so college life stayed interesting and you were constantly learning something new.

What I enjoyed the most was:

• Internship opportunities.

• Guest lectures.

• Industry visits.

• Workshops and fun learning activities.

• Placement training.

• Friendly faculty and a good campus atmosphere.

I think the biggest difference for me was the confidence I gained. I became more comfortable talking to people, working in teams, and trying new things. Looking back, I feel I learned a lot beyond academics, and that's what made my experience at GIBS really special.

I think the biggest difference for me was the confidence I gained. I became more comfortable talking to people, working in teams, and trying new things. Looking back, I feel I learned a lot beyond academics, and that's what made my experience at GIBS really special.

What I liked was that the preparation didn't start only when placements came around. We were getting small bits of training throughout the course, so it never felt rushed.

Things that really helped were:

• Mock interviews to practice before the real ones.

• Communication and personality development sessions.

• Resume-building guidance.

• Group discussions and presentations.

• Guest sessions with industry professionals.

• Internship opportunities to get some real work exposure.

By the time placement season started, interviews didn't feel as scary because we'd already practiced so much. I felt much more confident compared to when I first joined, and that steady preparation really made a difference for me.

Yes, the placement information is available publicly, and from what I have seen, GIBS Bangalore has reported an average package of around 8–9 LPA and the highest package going up to around 20 LPA in recent years.

I did my studies at GIBS, and honestly, what impressed me was not just the highest package number. The college puts a lot of focus on helping students prepare for placements through mock interviews, aptitude training, presentations, internships, and industry interactions.

For me, the bigger thing was that students from different backgrounds were able to get good opportunities. Some got higher packages, some got average packages, but overall there were opportunities available for students who actively participated and worked on their skills.

And from GIBS, I truly got;

• Regular placement training sessions

• Mock interviews and aptitude preparation

• Industry exposure through events and guest lectures

• Internship opportunities

• Support from the placement team

At the end of the day, I felt happy with the outcome because I got a good opportunity myself, and many of my friends also started their careers with decent packages. That's why whenever someone asks me about GIBS, I usually say the placement support and exposure were good parts of my experience. 

GIBS Business School believes that to be successful; students should have more than an academic foundation. Therefore, as part of its overall focus on developing the personalities of its students, the Institute has developed ways to combine classroom-based learning with an emphasis on the development of leadership skills, professional development, and "hands-on" practical activities.

Ways to Further Develop Students' Personalities:

•  The School of Youth Leadership (SoYL): This programme through promoting conditions for developing leadership abilities such as teamwork, good decision making, and the concept of social responsibility.
• Communications Skills Program: In addition to the SoYL program, the Institute also provides its students with regular interactive sessions that improve students' public speaking, presentation skills, business communications ability and self-confidence.
•  Career Progression and Management Program (CPMP): This programme focuses on developing students' aptitude, enhancing their soft skills, preparing for and presenting themselves in interview situations, and overall professional development.
•  Exposure to Business: The Institute provides students the opportunity to build the necessary level of practical exposure to find their own ways to gain the confidence to achieve success.
•  Student Clubs and Activities: Engaging in various cultural, sports, management, and entrepreneurship clubs allows for the enhancement of creativity and developing teamwork and leadership skills.
• Mock Interviews and Group Discussions: The various activities available to GIBS students help to develop their abilities to communicate, critically analyze marketing concepts, and develop confidence in their overall professional presence.
•  Event Management Opportunities: Working to organize and participate in a variety of events allows for GIBS students to enhance their leadership, organizational, and coordination abilities needed to achieve personal success.

From my experience at GIBS Bangalore, placements were actually quite structured and preparation starts from the beginning itself. It's not something you suddenly face in the final semester — you keep getting trained through internships, presentations, communication sessions, and mock interviews.

• I am from 2025 batch and I personally got placed at around 9 LPA 

• My friend Suraj got a package of around 16 LPA

• Average range for many students is around 8–9 LPA

• the highest packages can go around 16–17 LPA+ depending on performance

• Internship support is given during the programme itself

• Regular placement training, aptitude practice, and interview preparation sessions

• Companies visit for roles in Finance, Marketing, HR, Sales, and Operations etc.

For me, GIBS felt like a place where you don't just study and wait for placements — you keep building your skills throughout, so when placements come, you are already ready and confident.

At GIBS Bangalore, students get multiple specialisation options, so you are not forced to stick to only one area from the beginning. One good thing is that students also get an option for dual specialization, which helps if you want knowledge across two domains and want broader career opportunities.

The specializations generally include:

• Finance – for banking, finance, investment, analyst, and related roles

• Marketing – for sales, branding, digital marketing, and business development roles

• Human Resources (HR) – for recruitment, talent management, and people-related roles

• Business Analytics – for students interested in data and business decision-making

• Operations and related management areas depending on the programme structure

What many students usually like is that it is not only about choosing a specialisation and studying theory. Along with specialisation subjects, students also work on projects, presentations, internships, and industry activities.

GIBS gives you the flexibility to choose your specialisation and even go for dual specialization, so you can build skills in more than one area and explore wider career opportunities.
